Mid-semester Virtual Ensemble Concert, Music Area, VaPA

On Wednesday of this week I will provide a reminder post with a LINK to view some music videos from one of our MCC ensembles. It features our instrumental & vocal students (from Dr. Rollo Fisher's groups) performing chamber music like the beautiful latin tune "Besame Mucho" performed by Zazie Weldgen.  Zazie will also be featured on another orchestral arrangement singing “Goodbye” which is considered one of the most beautiful yet haunting melodies ever written, which also happened to be Benny Goodman’s sign-off song. There will be a beautiful orchestral rendition of "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life" featuring acoustic lead guitar by Ivanna Soletska. Joe Percy will sing a modern version of "That's All" and play some solo and rhythm guitar. That video performance will also include our guest artist on tenor saxophone by Vince Ercolamento who has also taught many of our woodwind majors over the years. And there's more we'll announce on Wednesday.

The students sent me their smart phone videos and/or CD quality audio files that they played over supplied backing tracks using earbuds or headphones. I edited and produced the music tracks & videos in my home studio, NBRJazz for the MCC Music Area of the Visual & Performing Arts Department. Hope you enjoy them!!  –Professor John Nyerges
